The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, often abbreviated as SWPPP or SW3P, is a plan created by constructors to show their plans for sediment and erosion control.[1] Typically these plans are part of an overall design that details procedures to be followed during various phases of construction. This is required by a federal regulation of the United States of America governing stormwater runoff from active construction sites that are more than one acre in area.[2][3] The SWPPP is considered a mitigation guideline for stormwater runoff from construction sites that have the potential to damage waterways while complying with the Clean Water Act’s provisions and EPA regulations.[4]
